This is a variant on the compromise I went with as journal and book series editor. It works well. Citations are to archived material that has a 99.999999% chance of being accessible in 15 years time, everything else was handled as a footnote or end note. The very worst thing for me in terms of citation is ones like (personal communication, 1984). I banned that one. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
